Drizzle

The rec bellied woodpecker appeared in the gray morning to sample barkbutter balls.  Pine warblers quickly followed. Blue jays got their share.  Even titmice and cardinals joined the parade.  A brown headed nuthatch only wanted seeds.  The orange crowned warbler was lured in by the barkbutter balls but then turned to seeds.  A Carolina wren left off scrounging with the white throats to have a barkbutter ball. 

The gray turned to drizzle mid day.  That didn't deter the bluebirds  or a myrtle warbler that flaunted its buttery topknot and wing pits.  The brown headed nuthatch booted a pine warbler twice its size off the seed feeder.  Out on the creek, pelicans and buffleheads appreciated the ice-free day.
